Of course it crashes.
writing to a string literal +ACo-is+ACo- an access violation.
BTW: This piece of code is a violation of any good taste
and should crash on any system.

(depends on whether the string constant is stored on the data segment or in
the code segment).

Nevertheless, this is not really a cygwin topic (ASAIK).

Betreff: STATUS+-AF8-ACCESS+-AF8-VIOLATION Exception

Hi,

Any simple c program that uses a string function crashes with the
STATUS+AF8-ACCESS+AF8-VIOLATION exception.

+ACM-include +ADw-string.h+AD4-
main()
+AHs-    char +ACo-abc +AD0- +ACI-a b c+ACIAOw-
    strcpy(abc, +ACI-hello+ACI-)+ADs-
    printf(+ACIAJQ-s+AFw-n+ACI-, abc)+ADs-
+AH0-

Can you please help me. I use Windows2000.

Thanks,

Amos
